HELP!

This week my 19 week old has been a nightmare having his breakfast bottle. It’s like it’s become a fight, he pushes it away, cries. We have to pace the bottle and calm him down. I have no idea why he has started doing it, he is absolutely fine with all his other bottles in the day, just this one. Is it the environment I am feeding in him, he has his bedtime bottle, night feed and breakfast feed in our bedroom. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

Is he tired? My bubs has started fighting her feeds when she’s tired and I have to rock her first and/or play white noise to calm her down then she’ll usually have a feed and drop off...or just scream her head off, depending!!! This is only since leap 4...so I’m hoping it’ll stop when the leap stops!! 😬

He feeds better when he’s tired, in the morning he’s usually just woke up, starting to wonder if he’s teething and that’s causing it

Change of tactic this morning.......we got up as soon as Ollie woke up so he was downstairs playing at 7:30am, breakfast bottle at 8:30am, he drank it so much better with a 5 min break in the middle. No tears, no tantrums and he’s now asleep having his nap 🎉🎉 maybe we need to keep our bedroom for night time feeds 😁😁

Glad you found a solution. My LG sometimes doesn't like drinking as soon as she is awake either. If she doesn't seem hungry i give her feed after i have my own breakfast xx

I give my lo an hour sometimes more in the morning and even then she faffs with the bottle. It can be 7 hours since she last had one and still messes about and stops and grumps. Tbh though she does this with a lot of her bottles now, not just morning ones.
